You'll have to look long and hard to even come close to finding a better trimmer for any price than the Husky 323L.

I own a 223L and run it as my main trimmer, but I also have a FS90R and FS250R so it's not a brand loyalty thing for me. The 323 is the same weight as the 223 (9lbs) but has 20% more power and a solid drive shaft.

I have been out of the commercial business since 1994, when did Husky start making good commercial equipment?Posted via Mobile Device

Husky has been making great hand helds for quite a while now. The 327 is probably a great trimmer too, but most of us use the 223,323 or 326 because (especially) for the price, you can't get a better trimmer that has as much power, or is as light in weight. Their T-35 bump head is the best on the market for reliability, ease of loading and feeding.

What about the 426LST? How does it differ from the 326LS? Its $40 more.

I run the redmax 23cc with a shindiawa speed feed head and am very happy with it . the speed feed is a must if never have ran one for the fact it pays out string MUCH easier than the pita rmax heads . that said ive been running rmax whips only for over a decade so've nothing to compare them to
